    I'm looking into installing an A/C kit on my 1991 Honda Accord myself.
    There is an air conditioner kit offered on the Majestic Honda site:
    http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=Accord&catcgry2=1991&catcgry3=4DR+DX&catcgry4=KA5MT&catcgry5=AIR+CONDITIONER+KIT

    Is this 'all' I need to get a fully functional airconditioning?
    Does anyone on the group have an experience in this?
    Can it be done, or do I need to take half of the car apart?

    Regards,

    www.bought4less.com
    has it at $870

    that is probably just the compressor price at majestic

    I've never attempted to install a factory AC system. However, it looks
    fairly complete. Though, I would give the folks at Majestic Honda a call
    just make sure that everything is included. For example, I don't see the
    mounting bracket for the compressor in that picture. You'll also need to
    check your crankshaft pulley to make sure that it's compatible. I also
    don't see any hardware for adjusting the AC belt or any wiring for the
    switch in the dash. Any missing components could be picked up at a wrecking
    yard or from Majestic. Note that installing components under the dash is
    likely to be a challenge especially if you've never taken a dash apart.

    installing ac on your car is easy
    the insides, switch and evaporator are a breeze.
    the aftermarket ac system is 100% complete down to every bolt nut washer and
    wire tie.

    a replacement compressor for a 91 accord is about the same price as that
    majestics price.

    I dont see all the other parts would come with it.

    Does anyone know if they made a kit like this for
    a 1997 Accord Wagon?
